RiverWebs (58 min, USA)
RiverWebs examines the remarkable world of river ecosystems and the science that explores them through the dramatic story of an important Japanese ecologist, Dr. Shigeru Nakano. Nakanos inspiring life, tragic death, and enduring legacy illustrate the strength of curiosity, the fragility of life, and the interconnectedness of our world. (Jeremy Monroe, 2007)
Shifting Currents (15 min, USA)
A student-produced documentary of Eagle Harbor High Schools involvement with the federal removal of two dams on the Olympic Peninsulas Elwha River. Mentored through Bainbridge Island Television and based at Olympic Park Institute, the students highlight the journey of the river as well as their reflections on issues of social justice and environmental sustainability. The film became more than a document of the students activities on the Elwha and their respect for the involvement of the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe in river renewal; it became their statement about the need for change. Shifting Currents represents not only the shifts in the river as the dams are removed but also a shift in a generational attitude toward environmental issues. (Eagle Harbor High School, 2007)
Thorn to Be Wild (10 min, USA)
A student-directed short documenting the ongoing restoration of Seattles largest forest, the West Duwamish Greenbelt. It tells the story of the Nature Consortiums volunteer-fueled efforts to replace harmful invasive species with a diversity of long-lived native trees and understory plants. The film paired students from Seattle-area schools with local filmmakers and environmental activists. Includes original songs and scoring by youth. (Teen students with Carey Christie, 2008)
